I'm stuck as to what is the best thing to do. Am I going to ruin my chain or potentially cause other damage!
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Why not just help the chain a bit and grind the excess plastic manually ?

There is no moving part on the outside of the chain so you don't ruin it by using it as grinder BUT don't if you use a clip on the connecting link (master link)......

Even with a riveted chain i would be a bit carefull since it might be a bit wider. With and endless chain you should be fine ....
